"Can the Holocaust create values? In my opinion, the process in which the
Holocaust was first repressed and then documented, which has been going on
for decades, has just arrived at this question, is struggling now with this
question ... Those who are unable to face their past are condemned to
eternally repeat it - we know this saying of Santayana ... The Holocaust is
a value because it has lead to immeasurable knowledge through immeasurable
suffering, thus creating an immeasurable moral resource."
(Imre Kertesz 1997)
